I will open my eyes,
fix my bed and my hair,
open our window
and smell the air.
I will look for a dress,
get my underwear
enter the shower
and suffer with cold.
I will eat the bread,
served with meatloaf
and watch the news
in the morning show.
I will get my bag
and wear my mom's watch,
unlock the wooden door
and get my phone.
I will walk to the elevator
while putting my head phones on
pick and play a song
until I reach the ground floor.
I will wave goodbye
to the on-duty-guard,
give my last smile and
get out of our building.
I will cross the street
and wait for the bus,
pay the conductor
and finally, leave my place.

11/11/11
Kung ngayon ang araw na mabibigyan ako ng pagkakataon para humiling ng isang bagay na parang imposibleng mangyare, hihilingin ko parin ang aking araw-araw na hiling.
Tanging ang Panginoon ang makakarinig, makaka-alam at makaka-intindi ng aking hiling. Tanging siya ang makakasagot at makakapagpatupad ng aking hiling.Sa dami ng humihiling sa araw na ito, sa tingin ko, sapat na humiling ako ng simple. Isang bagay na alam ng Panginoon na importante sa akin sa aking pang-araw-araw. Isang bagay na hindi kakaiba. Isang bagay na normal lamang dahil alam kong kahit sa ibang araw ako humiling, kung talagang karapatdapat ako at karapatdapat sa akin ay siyang matutupad din.
Isa pa, napakadami na ng biyayang ipinagkaloob sa akin ng nasa itaas para humiling pa ako ng para sa akin lamang. Napakarami ng taong nagmamahal sa akin at aking minamahal. Napakarami ng mga taong nagpapasaya ng bawat araw ko kaya naman sinisikap kong ibalik sakanila ang sayang kanilang ibinibigay. Napakadami kong materyal na bagay na higit sa dapat kong matanggap. Napakadami ng mga karanasan ko na pinaghuhugutan ko ng lakas ng loob at ng inspirasyon para sa mga araw na susunod kong tatahakin. Lubos akong pinagpala, kumpara sa iba. Kaya naman ang aking hiling ay mananatiling ang aking ordinaryong hiling. Isang salita na hindi lamang para sa aking sarili.
Kung ang hiling na aking sasambitin ay matutupad, maraming marami pong salamat. Kung hindi naman, alam kong matutupad din sa tamang panahon, sa panahong tama at nararapat.

Mensahe mula sa aking seatmate noong 2nd year college, Ken Palubon
Bigla ko lang namiss ang aking napakatahimik na seatmate noong 2nd year pa lamang ako sa kolehiyo kaya naman nagpost ako sa wall niya sa facebook. Ang sabi ko, "hoi, nakakamiss ka naman Ken!" At eto na ang aming napag-usapan. Nakakatuwa lang dahil hindi ko naisip na may taong makaka-appreciate sa akin ng ganito kahit puro pangungulit lang ang ginawa ko sa buhay niya.

Larawang Isinalimot
by Kat Ongoco
Walang mangyayare kung
patuloy mong tititigan ang
larawan habang naghihintay
sa pag-usad ng taxing sinasakyan.
Walang magbabago kung kakausapin
ang larawan at hihintayin itong
sumagot sa lahat ng katanungang
bumabagabag sa isipang.
Dahil sa mga oras na ito,
tiyak ang nasa litrato ay nananahimik
sa pagtulog at kayakap ang
unang dati ay ikaw.
Nananaginip ng taimtim at ni
hindi ka sumasagi sa isipan
'pagkat ika'y isang parte ng
datng ala-ala na lamang.
'Di na ninanais na muling
balikan at mayakap pa, 'pagkat
ikaw mismo ang nagtaboy sakanya
papalayo sa'yo, sa inyo.
------------------------
Sinulat ko ang tulang ito noong isang beses na ginabi ako ng umuwe mula sa bahay ng aking kaibigan kaya ako'y napilitang magtaxi. Sa kawalan ng magawa, binuklat ko ang aking planner at tiningnan kung ano ang nakaplano kong gagawin para sa susunod na araw. Habang binubuklat ang bawat pahina, nahulog ang isang larawan sa may ilalim ng aking inuupuan. Nakita ko ang isang taong aking lubos na pinahalagahan.

Ms. Perfect
by Kat Ongoco
You're in love with
our friend,
i was extremely
happy for you, then.
You broke up,
you asked me why,
i answered with all
honesty and you realized.
You were hurt,
i told you to forget
about her and
move on.
I was in love,
you were there,
aware and informed
with all my stories.
I was left alone,
you're still there,
listening, laughing and
trying to make me smile.
They say you're
happier now,
i felt different
and surprised.
I heard you're
courting a new gal,
i suddenly wished
her to be me.
I was surprised
with myself when
I prayed and asked
Him for that.
Because you are
my guy friend,
my almost best friend,
you are a good friend.
Then, someone told
me, that you're in love
with a girl and
you call her "Ms. Perfect".
I became curious,
i asked who she is
and if i know her,
she said "Yes".
I asked again, she
said i'll be surprised,
asked for the third
time, again, no answer.
I asked how perfect
the girl is, so as to
identify who she is,
she answered me fast.
"She has a good heart,
she's also smart, friendly,
funny and with a good
sense of humor."
"She makes him happy
every time they talk,
special every time
she's with him."
"Wow", i said.
The only word i was
able to say, then i realized
she's really perfect.
Then she said,
the girl he badly loves
is the same girl i am
talking with now, You.

a message from my sweet friend/momey, April Flor Borlagdatan
"lots of love coming from my heart" - April Flor
She's definitely one of a kind. No one in my life is like her and can replace her. She can make you smile with just a word and laugh with just a blink of an eye. She's my go-home-buddy and my momster in college. She's my make-up artist and my fashion consultant. She's my stress reliever and my bear to hug when I need one.
She's truly one of the BEST friends I've met in college and, I'm sure, one of those friends who will be there even at times when I badly need to burst out and fart. :))

Love won't run out
In moments when you feel like you have given and given until there is no more of yourself to give, remember that love won't run out. God has an infinite amount of love for you and for you to pass on to others. Even at times when the well seems dry, God can send a flood. Let the flood of love wash over you and then drench everyone around you.
